From the Mitchell campaign:

‘This morning, everyone here at Paul Mitchell’s campaign office is in a celebratory mood,’ said a campaign volunteer.. ‘The list of endorsements is growing; we’ve just added four conservative groups to the endorsements list, with more to come!’

‘These four endorsements,’ says Mitchell, ’show my credibility to my socially conservative base, my fiscally conservative allies, and to the reform/912/tea party movement.’

In a press release, The Illinois Federation for Right to Life Political Action Committee (IFRL-PAC) announced its endorsement of Paul Mitchell as Republican candidate for the sixty-second Illinois House District in the primary election to be held February, 2010.

‘Not only has Mr. Mitchell expressed a desire to protect unborn children,’ IFRL-PAC’s press release said, ‘but he has also indicated his support for the disabled as well as those endangered at the end of life.’ The Illinois Federation for Right to Life is a statewide organization with local affiliates throughout the State of Illinois.

Paul’s candidacy was also endorsed by Tax Accountability, when he signed their Taxpayer Protection Pledge opposing any and all efforts to increase taxes. ‘Tax Accountability is the political action arm of National Taxpayers United of Illinois (NTUI). NTUI is the largest taxpayer protection organization in Illinois with over 30,000 members and supporters. NTUI was founded in 1976 and since that time we have helped Illinois citizens save over $88 billion in income and property taxes at the state and local levels.’

Paul is also endorsed by the Illinois Conservatives Facebook group, (see article here). Zach Oltmanns of Rockford says he organized the Facebook group a year ago, and that endorsement decisions are made by officers with feedback from group members.

‘We make our decisions by a majority vote from our leadership group. The 599 members let me know who they believe we should endorse or look into,’ Oltmanns wrote via email.

In addition, Paul is endorsed by the 912 Candidates organization; see Paul’s page on the 912 Candidate website, here.
